manny pacauiao status before the de la hoya fight

[Robbie Barrett]

Both JMM and Manny aren't true welterweights, they can't even reach the welterweight limit (147).

You buggin if you think Floyd is a small welterweight, that's casual talk. Did you not see him when he fought a drained Canelo at the 152 catchweight? He looked huge, as big as Canelo.

What do you mean can't reach the WW limit? They weighed around the same as Mayweather on fight night, 150.


There was a video of Mayweather last week stepping on a scale fully clothed with a tracksuit and shoes on, after a year out and he only weighed 160. Big as Canelo though.

147 is the WW limit, Manny and Marquez can't make that, they usually come in around 143-45, they're small guys.

Fight night weight isn't important (idky nubs keep bringing that up) the official weight is.

Degale just came in at 166.5 are you telling me he's too small and can't make the SMW limit? Some fighters come in lighter than they need to doesn't mean they can't make the weight limit.

The more pounds you pack on, the stronger you are, that's the whole point of reaching the weight limit, fighters have to get as close to it as possible or at least near it. Educate yourself Clarke.

Pacquaio has weighed in at 147 lbs quite a few times.

So he can make it.

Oh i know far more than you about it. Fighters weigh into fights lbs under the limits all the time, big fighters that dehydrate lots too. But somehow this is evidence that they are too small.

DeGale is too small for SMW according to your logic. I think you're a little slow.

Yeah your right he's done it before but he struggles to make it, he has to eat big meals before weighs in just to make 47.

pacquiao was an all time great before he went to WW, but WW was what cemented his legacy as a top tier great and made him all that money.


the guy had victories over morales, barrera, and marquez. that's a freakish resume at or around FW. add in his tenure as a champion at lower weights that 122 and he was already a hall of famer and a great, but he didn't become a real legend until he went to 147 lbs, back to 140 to nearly kill hatton, beat up miguel cotto, etc.

But you said Crawford beats pacman in his prime

[_Maxi]

He didn't lose because of weight. Mayweather and JMM weren't big WW's, Pacquiao outweighed Mayweather on fight night. Try another excuse.

So Floyd really was severely dehydrated after cutting 3 pounds...

RIDICULOUS

Are you a medical professional Maxi? If not, how would you know if it's ridiculous or not?
